An account of the resource
The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

In Michie' s Digest , Volume 12, page 781 , it is said;
"A subseque nt statute revising the whole subject matter of
a former one and evide ntly intended a s a substitu te for it,
though it c ont a i ns no exp ress words to that effect, must

In the c a se und er sonsideration , the l a tter statute

t o rmbrace the who le legislati on on the subject to whi ch
it refers, and to be wholly substituted f or al l former

The Sumers' Case, supra,
therefore, is in both a s pec ts conclusive of the question
before us, and it is plain that upon the passage of the
Ac t of March 17, 1906, a ll authority ceased to t ax trees
separate and apairt from the l and upon whi ch they stand. "
These cases are appare ntly dealing wi th cases in
which there was no express declaration of an intention to re pe al
the former act.
In the case at bar in the very title of the act, it
is declared that the ob j ect of the act was to re peal Chap ter 146
of the £cts of the Assembly, 1916, approved March 10th, 1916, and
all other acts or parts of acts in conflict with this act.
Here
is an express decla rati on of the l egisl ative intent as to what they
propose t o do; and Chapter 388 of the ~.cts of 1 918, approved March
19th, 1918, purports covering an d it is to cover the entire field
dealing with the li quor traffi c, the former act being re-enacted

The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.
